Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 3:5:
- Kankanaey: “That’s what God told you because he knows that if you eat any of that, you will be similar to him, and you will come-to-know the good and bad.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Newari: “If you eat this you will also become like God. God has spoken like that because He knows that your eyes will be opened and you will know what is good and what is evil.'” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “God said that because he knew that if you (pl.) would-eat it, you (pl.) will-be-enlightened, and you (pl.) will-become like him who knows what is good and evil/bad.'” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “only because he knows that when you eat fruit from that tree, you will understand new things. It will be as though your eyes are opened, and you will know what is good to do and what is evil to do, just as God does.'” (Source: Translation for Translators)
